Monday afternoon u man with long

officers, and no agitatssn should be
awakened among them. Leave all
manipulating and electiopeering to be
done with any among them, to the in
dividuai candidates asking their votes,
just as you do, or should dc, among
the whites. I conceive This to be q
good rule and just one, that intelii
gence should be the basis of represen-
tation in the primary assemblies of the
people and this rule adhered to, clear
through, to the final convention-then
the people will be satisfied tJ vote tor
the choice Of the majority, all other
things being fair and equal. We will
not continue further, but, if this part
Of the country acts up to lis present
opinions, we will be heard as citizens
and tax payers, in tue primaries, de-
manding fair play and equal rights,
and as yet, are uot bound, pledged or
set to the choice OF any particular man
for Governor, or any other Office, though
we may have our preferences. We are
in, OF aud from the old Coiony-this
is voice from Il few of us-we are not
in Monroe.
I hope when "Tho Hills'' writes
again he will write so we can UNDER
stand what he means, if he means any,
thing. Out here we could only see that
he was correspondent Of the organ,
and trying to whistle one of its tunes,
but he could not turn it so as 30 make
music. 1 do not hope to see the organ
crowd change their course, of rule or
ruin, but disaster is sure 10 come from
it and then it will be too late to regret
their selfish action. l have been for

Iu Que Of the pretty summer houses
on the bluff. In front Of the Howtand,
y young looking man sat this morning
peering through an opera glass directed
at group Of, girls in bathing. He
wore u suit Of white serge, with a dark
gray flannel shirt tied loosely with u
sailor knot, a straw hat, aud around
his waist was wide cloth belt that
had a lot Of gold cording ON it. + was
told that 1t was some sort Of a Chinese
scarf. There was blase air Of uncon-
Germ about him, as II he had seen every
thing worth seeing In this world aud
was only studying the specimens of
feminine anatomy before him because
he had nothing else to do. He was
looking through powerful set ofienses,
for an acquaintance to whom he con-
descendingly suggested trial assured
me that he could easily see the very
stitching in the bathing suits. 81

the young man with the torgnettes,"
If had not remembered that the
prettiest forms l saw anywhere last
summer We're here. It's tho only
pleasurelI II have" he added, adjusting
the glasses at rather plumb girl in Q
white flannel dress.
"By Joe, she's stuuner," he ex-
claimed, after giving her thorough
Inspection through the glasses. Then,
peering at her again, he said, in tone
OF disappointment" All, but she's

but the tired young man kept on in
his peculiar occupation. He Ia at 1t
every morning, am told. No one
knows how he spends the rest OF his
time. He has seen everything, been
every where, and there is q constant
look of ennui and depression on his
face as If he thought. that life were
scarcely worth the living. lie is a
queer individual, and he follows q
strange pursuit. 1t is tasting tea. lie
samples it for haif a dozen of the biggest
houses in the country, and earns about
$25, 900 a year by it. He has the repu.
tati0n OF knowing more about teas
than any one else In the country, 1t
is at the sacrifice of his stomach and
good digestion that he has earned the
reputation, for both are ruined, though
he Is still q young man. ....t
The only thing that he really enjoys
tn the way OF n0urfshmeut Is n cup OF
tea that ne brews himself every morn
ing. 1t is made of leaves that in China
are used only by the imperial family
and cost hero $25 Il pound. He.boils /,
over glass jet, then pours it iuto the
thinnest sort Of a blue chinacup-nI-
most as thin as a champagne glass
Then he sips it az he lies in bed, and
it brings on dreamy sensation, which,
he declares, is the one delight OF his
life. 1t lasts from one to three hours
and then passes away. Unlike opium,
no bad effects are left behind, for he is
over il as soon as he moves about and
shakes off the drowsiness. Then he
takes his opera-glasscs and goes owe,

steady. Government bonds were dull but
firm. State bonds were quiet and steady.
The stock market was unusually quiet, there
being very little desire to trade even among
the professionals and room trade rs. The
movements in prices, except in three or four
stocks, were sluggish and entirely insignih-
cant. There was some covering of shorts in
the early morning which impaired a tone of
strength to the dealings for short time,
aided by the bidder strength displayed by
Consolidated Gas. When the demand on the
shorts ceased a disposition was shown to
await the bank statement which, proving un-
usually favorable, stimulated buying to
small extent, but the move
meut soon ceased Kansas & Texas was
a notably weak feature late in the day upon
the decision OF the Barry suit against the
COMPANY. The coal stocks were the leaders
OF the general market, but made no import
ant changes. The day being Saturday there
was very little foreign trading and dealings
were almost entirely confined to the room.
The opening was about steady. the changes
from last evenings final quotations being for
insignificant fractions only. Tue trading was
very dull except in the coal stocks, and Rich
mond & West Point Consolidated gas was re-
markably strong and the remainder followed
slowly. The market became dull before the
end of the first hour and generally heavy,
with the exception of Pennsylvania, Decatur
g. Evansville and Consol dated gas. There was
some Improvement in the general list
after neon, but later the advance was
lost, Kansas & Texas becoming extremely
weak Prices moved both ways in the last
hour. and the market finally closed heavy 10
weak, close TO the opening figures. Sales.

RICH DRESSING AT CHURCH.

SO costly and of such variety that they must
necessarily attract attention? The place is
not adapted to such displays. They dis
tract attention from church purposes. 1t is
too much too say of ny lady that she seeks
attention to the sacrifice of that which
should be devoted TO book. or sermon,
or prayer; that she airs her vanity when
she should most show humility; that she
wants to excite envy when the heart should
be empty of all selfish and other personal
considerations: but surely she does not dress
in that manner altogether to please herself;
and it is just possible that she takes to her.
self somewhat irreligious satisfaction on
making the discovery that no other lady has
her costliness of plumage and her superior
ity OF display.
1t has been repeatedly stated that no poor
and economically dressed man or woman
can receive cordial treatment at any fash
ionable church, however clean and decent
the dl ess may be. We do not believe this
is so. There is perhaps as much Christian
warmth and fellowowship in fashionable
as in other churches, though. of
course, radically bad dress would be
more offensive in such church than
in a backwoods congregation, and more
Objectionable than very costly one
But there are sensitive women whose
thought is driven to church dress because of
its noticeable expensiveness. They do not
wish to be conspicuous for cheapness of ap-
parel any more than properly sensitive
woman would wish to be conspicuous for
the luxury carried Oh her back. These
women cannot attend church without some
thing of sacrifice to perfectly proper pride,
whereas if plain dress were the rule at
church they would be as much at their ease
as if there were no thought of dress in any
place in which it does not belong
Rich dressing at church is impropriety,
and besides it drives away from church
many worthy people who would be glad to
attend. That being fully understood-it
being thoroughly known that such display
amounts to seltiShneSs as well as love of
adornment- there should be few ladies who
will offend in that way.
